1/2 cup butter is enough, and skip the white sugar, use only the 3/4 cup brown sugar and reduce the overall amount of sugar and butter for a healthier cookie…Also add a sprinkle of cloves, ginger, a dash of salt for more flavour. I let the batch of raisins soak up an ounce of rum, not much over all that amount of food.

Personally, I would say the chopped nuts fits better with chocolate-chip cookies, not oatmeal cookies.

I would highly recommend 2 eggs, not just 1 egg to keep the cookies from crumbling.

Oatmeal Cookies Freak

– I swapped out the white sugar and brown sugar for the brown sugar splenda blend (1 cup seems to be best to my taste)

– I make the cookies big – so set timer to max time of 15 – then check them every 3 minutes (I still like them soft – but cooked through) – often cook time is about 19 minutes.

– Very easy and simple to make – don’t pull out a big blender – just a hand blender does fine and cleanup is easier.

– add 1 cup granola and take away 1 cup oats if you want a different taste (super yummy)!
